Elegance Through Simplicity
“Experts in any domain tend to lose awareness of the individual steps that they go through to produce their work. As their expertise grows and deepens over time, it becomes second nature, intuitive, and automatic. Ask them to break the process down for you and they might just stare blankly, genuinely befuddled. They know how to do it, but that knowledge has become so intimately integrated into their minds and bodies, they can no longer articulate the process. In this article, I’ll try to save you some time and trouble by revealing the steps I take when designing data presentations.”
Surprisingly good information. This is a gem.
